20 Of Our Favorite Finds From Unique LA's Spring Show
More than 14,000 people attended Unique LA's fifth annual Spring Show, which featured 350 handpicked designers and artists, many of whom are Los Angeles-based. The event, which was held May 11 and 12 at the California Market Center in Downtown LA, also raised $3,000 for the Downtown Women's Center.
Some of the items we found during our shopping adventure were: the best strawberry jam ever, do-it-yourself school notebooks, backpacks that change lives, LA commute necklaces and playful cat silhouette bikinis.
The Unique LA team is already hard at work on their Summer Show, which will be held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on July 13 and 14.
